Phnom Penh (PNH) Day 3

Steung Menchey. The home of everything unwanted from the citizens and visitors of PNH. Table scraps left on plates, then shoveled into the trash, dead batteries dripping acid from the seams, hospital needles so sharp you would barely feel one burying itself into a heavily calloused foot. Steung Menchey is not just a wasteland, it is also where people raise their families and where children spend hours everyday sifting through trash to find items which would yield a small profit. Bottles, cans, plastic containers; these are some items which could fetch enough for something to eat. A harsh image, but 100% reality. CCF tries to help a lot of the children trapped in this reality.
